4 years ago...wow..im proud of that..

I didn't notice the dates at all until they were mentioned..

I used the Google search function and typed in Football Manager and that was what came up...

Anyway, I always think its better to dig up past threads than starting new ones on a whim.. (People will find something to give out about anyway....suppose!)

Any advice on where to to find a good selection of PC Games...??
Football Manager 2011 anyone...

I'm still trying to figure out if my laptop has the capability to handle Prey. Anyone have any ideas where to buy that? Yongsan doesn't usually have games that old.

Hmm you used to be able to buy it on Steam for a pittance. They seem to have removed it from their store though, weird.

Dead Rising 2

GTA IV (including the add-ons Lost and Damned, Ballad of Gay Tony) is still the best game I've ever played.

I really want to try the new Fallout game. Fallout 3 was great and this one looks even better. I need to save my money for my return to Korea though.

I agree about Baldur's Gate. My other favourite game is Shadow of the Colossus.

Oblivion was cool.

In Fallout: New Vegas, it's set in an area that wasn't hit by any nukes and still has functioning infrastructure, so it won't be as much of a bleak Mad Max-style setting.

3. Morrowind - I played this around '05. I loved the graphics, the leveling, the characters, etc. But there just wasn't much variety of enemies, the game was a bit too big, there were names and places that were hard to pronounce, etc. Actually, there weren't many items, either. After a point, you'd have all this gold and nothing to spend it on.

2. WoW - I loved this game a lot, but it got old, fast. Great graphics, characters, items, humor; I can go on. But as a friends once said, "I need closure in a game." The quests just never end; it gets pointless; I'm just a magnet for meeting the biggest idiots in the game (personally, I like being alone when I play a game. I don't like joining quests, doing duels, etc.) and I also don't like paying a monthly fee.

1. Diablo 2 - Probably my all-time favorite. (When I think back to this game, I get hungry for take-out pizza or Chinese.) Cool graphics, humor, characters, etc. My main character was a level 82(?) Necromancer, Dr Mortis; he was pretty bada$$. Most comforting sound in the game - the sound you'd make when you used corpse explosion. It's like a chain reaction when you use it. One sound that I didn't like - the croaking/grumbling/whatever sounds of those beeble burst characters. Although their lightning can fudge you up, they do give a lot of experience, though.

Ocarina of Time.

I really suck at video games. But I LOVE Chrono Trigger. It's one of the few non-casual type games I played to completion. I think it's the only one with a playing time of over 10 hours. So yeah.

Diablo II is great too. When I first started playing, I used slow as hell dial up and I would always crash if I joined a game with more than one (or one super zealous) Necromancer. lol

Braid is easily one of the best independent games of all time. It's so beautiful and I loved the use of pastiche and even cliches to create something familiar to the player and yet very unique in delivery and style. Plus it combined two of my fave video game features: puzzle solving and not dying.
Also it inspired my senior thesis at university "Video Games as a High Art Medium." Cha-ching!

PS. Here is a link to a zip file (MP3 + slides) of a lecture Jonathan Blow gave on video game design back in 2008. It's so interesting. <3 Jonathan Blow. http://number-none.com/blow/slides/montreal_2008.zip
